Re: Autonomy: How Did You Guys Do It?

Our autonomous followed the line til it sensed the tee and then gunned it for the last loop of the while loop and stopped, which put us right at the wall. The "gunning" worked well except it should have been a little less energetic. Since we had holomonic drive we just controlled via strafing to keep on the line thus remaining normal to the wall. We started raising the arm to the limits at the start so that it was in position when we hit the wall. We scored 8/10 on the top middle peg in qualification runs and 100% in elimination except for one case where the arm was intentionally disabled. We could do the Y but almost all the alliances allowed us to go straight. Too bad autonomous did not offer more points.
